Sint-Martens-Voeren, Slenaken and Mesch

Picturesque roads adorned with cute chapels and crosses. Panoramas over the rolling landscape. And the winding river Gulp, sometimes pushing, sometimes babbling, finds its way through the area full of half-timbered houses. The village of Slenaken is one of the most picturesque places in the south of our country. You can also visit the Belgian Sint-Martens-Voeren. You won't have to worry about a language barrier, because people speak Belgian Limburgish here. To the northeast, the Broekbos lies on a slope. So you won't be short of greenery during this fun cross-border trip. The Meschermolen is also beautiful. The overshot watermill from 1699 was used as a corn mill and it is the first watermill on the Voer stream. The mill was in service for centuries and was only shut down at the beginning of 1950. The mill was no longer needed then, because an electric hammer mill came to the village. Between 1996 and 1998 the mill was restored and made operational again. The mill can be visited by appointment.
